Bedroom wardrobe / ensuite dilemma
Hi all
We're renovating an Edwardian semi. Ideally, we want the master bedroom (5.1x4.1m max) to have an ensuite and fitted wardrobes and to be quite clean-looking and clutter free.
It's a 7-bed house so we're going to turn the adjacent small bedroom (2.8x2.1m) into either an ensuite or a wardrobe. Question is, which one?
Option 1: turn small bedroom into ensuite and install fitted wardrobes in alcoves. This is probably the option I'd favour, but given you'd need a new door into the ensuite, where then do you comfortably fit a king-sized bed?
Option 2: turn adjacent bedroom into walk-in wardrobe and build ensuite into master bedroom (taking a chunk of another bedroom). I'm not sure this is a very elegant solution and the ensuite would be windowless, which isn't ideal.
Below are the 'as is' plan and our architect's plan of option 2.
Below: 2 photos of master bedroom.

7 years agoHi. I prefer the first option plumbing permitting. Hard to tell from looking at the pics but can the bed go opposite the chimney breast with the ensuite door in the bottom corner? It looks as if you could possibly have narrow bedside tables. Alternatively float the bed in the bay which I think looks particularly good with a 4 poster. If in budget I might also reinstate the fire..

Ideas for en suite/walk in wardrobe space in Bedroom
Comments (2)Hello Leesh, It sounds like you rather like the idea of an en-suite and so I would perhaps suggest you go with it, rather than do one thing and then re-do it later. You mention the house has one single loo.. So would this mean presumably that you would also then situate a loo downstairs? If so perhaps you might consider turning the loo into a small wet room style shower room.. A wall hung loo and small sink would give you enough room for a small shower room fully tanked of course as they are lovely. If there is a bathroom with bath for example elsewhere on the upper levels then it could be one way of dealing with this smaller space.. Alternatively you may prefer to have a walk in closet.. Mind you.. If the bedroom is large enough you may be able to incorporate a walk in closet in the room itself.. I'm elaborating on your initial dilemma, but it may help you to decide just what you need and where exactly.. : ))...See MoreBedroom space or en-suite?
Comments (1)Depends what they want the third bedroom for. If an office space 2 singles may be fine. If a guest room would a single work? Could they knock the 2 bedrooms together to make 2 decent doubles?...See MoreMAster bedroom/en-suite/wardrobe extension
Comments (2)If you can extend to 7m its definitely worth extending to maximise the space. A good way to do layouts is cut out little templates of a toilet, sink, shower/tub, king-size bed etc then you will be able to work out how much space you will need to achieve what you are hoping for....See MoreUnsure about layout of Bedroom/Ensuite/Wardrobe
